Unto Us an Album is Born!!!

You guys! I'm so stinkin' excited. :) You know what? My first CD was born tonight. *big shmoopy grin* We named it "Joyful Air", and the delivery was much easier than anticipated.

The Christmas themed album is available for purchase as of right this very minute, you know. *bites nails*

I told everyone that I dedicated this CD to my Grandpa Gene (it says so in the CD jacket), but I have to reiterate that the man was the only father I ever had. Add to that the fact that he was so unfailingly gentle-hearted and proud of his kids. If they had a house they had a mansion, you know? Grandpa died far too early. I was only ten years old. And times like these I miss him most, because I don't exactly have any typical parental sorts around to go all button busty for me. He wasn't around to see my books get published or to hold this CD in hand, but his influence on me is huge. In fact, most of the covers on "Joyful Air" are directly because of him, because when I was a little girl we always played Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, etc, at Christmas time, and I would listen and croon along with them and say to myself, some day I'm going to make an album. It really meant everything to me. So, when opportunity knocked in the form of a dear friend who had a sudden day away from her studio and offered it to me, "Joyful Air" is what came of her act of friendship. I'm so grateful.

Production and things have progressed a lot quicker than I thought and I'm both nervous and thrilled to be able to share it with you.

You don't need a paypal account to order. You can do so with good old plastic, if you like. Also, should you have any trouble with your CD or you're unsatisfied in any way please let me know. No unhappiness will go unrectified.
